Reply With Quotelooks awesome buddy. love em in the grey.
i had 2 in my time, and blow both up trying to get over 200bhp
And 1 year of proper searching... I've finally put down a deposit on my dream car
Obviously it's been Samco'd up, but apart from a few uprated parts the engine is running pretty much standard power. Hopefully that'll change soon... lots of history pretty much all from BB Performance. Comes from an owner who has had 12 of these cars over his time so I'm as full of confidence as you can be with a 22 year old car.
Gaz adjustable coilovers, I hated the vent at first but it's actually active! So I guess I'm okay with that. New (standard) seats have been put in. Only beef is quite a few patches of rust around, nothing underneath or on the sills though, and the remote fob isn't currently working. So because the doors have been smoothed over you have to enter via the boot lol. However I'm gonna chuck this car on my insurance as a second car to iron out the problems before I start using it properly. Oh, and no power steering is a ****ing pain!
Changes... standard grill back on. Maybe new bumpers as you can see the slats have been cut out and meshed over which I think looks a bit ****! Center parts for the Turbine's if I can actually get my hands on any. Then it will be a full respray (same colour) and treat all the rust. And my ultimate aim, of course, is to try and reach that legendary 200bhp
looks awesome buddy. love em in the grey.

A chap who lived round he corner to me used to have a red one, was one of only 2 in the country running over 200bhp on carb....was silly quick!
